The link video is Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros - Home (2010)
A country-folk song that seemed to be "popular" only on college stations.

Miles David. What moron wrote that?
Miles Davis. Not to start an argument, but not one of my faves. He was better in the 40s, but he could sure put together a band after that.

Carly Simon - It Was So Easy (1972) www.youtube.com
Lyrics excerpt ...
www.azlyrics.com
... I remember a time, rompin' through the woods Sun against our skin instead of clothes When we felt hungry we would eat, whn we felt glad we would dance And whenever we felt drowsy we would doze It was so easy then never takin' any stands It was so easy then, holdin' hands I remember a time when our fears could be named And courage meant not refusing dares I remember when we took such cares to step never on the cracks, No only on the squares Or else we'd be abducted by the bears It was so easy then never makin' any plans It was so easy then, holdin' hands It was so easy then never makin' any plans It was so easy then, holdin' hands And now we are grown, with debts and regrets And broken hearts and sentimental schemes Now every tender failure seems to overthrow old dreams Love can lead a normal woman to extremes It was so easy once, holdin' hands without a plan It was so easy once holdin' hands Just holdin' hands ...
It was so easy then never takin' any stands It was so easy then, holdin' hands
I remember a time when our fears could be named And courage meant not refusing dares I remember when we took such cares to step never on the cracks, No only on the squares Or else we'd be abducted by the bears
It was so easy then never makin' any plans It was so easy then, holdin' hands It was so easy then never makin' any plans It was so easy then, holdin' hands
And now we are grown, with debts and regrets And broken hearts and sentimental schemes Now every tender failure seems to overthrow old dreams Love can lead a normal woman to extremes
It was so easy once, holdin' hands without a plan It was so easy once holdin' hands Just holdin' hands ...
